What Has Gone Up In Price?

[Soi Sauce]

Let's just list one item at a time:

A strange one, but last week I bought a Dairy Queen ice cream for 45 baht.

Today, the same was 49b.

Since I have been in Thailand, the price of the British pound has increased and everything else has become cheaper.

Today I bought a kilo of fish food (my daughter likes to feed the fish in the lake near my house). Last week 15 baht, this week 19 baht.

Last time we got some my wife bought it, today I went and got it. Maybe I just paid a 4 baht farang premium!?...

Large bottle of Red Horse beer at Family Mart. 1 week ago, 40 baht (same price for over 1 year since I started drinking it), 3 days ago the price was raised to 43 baht, last night back down to 41 baht again... Obviously sales were suffering after that 3 baht rise...

If you want to talkabout the past few years...bread 24-37....Tesco tuna 19.5-28..rice, pork, chicken..just about everything...its called inflation!!!

It's called inflation as a result primarily of unregulated speculative trading of commodities.. People will die as rich bankers in London and New York squeeze the poor. I really don't know how these aholes sleep at night.

I sometimes buy ice cream cones at McDonalds here in LA and the price has went from 50 cents two years ago to 70 cents last year to one dollar now. A result of helicopter Ben's insane printing and unregulated trading. The former to save Wall Street's arse and the latter to pad their arse.

Probably more to do with the taste than the price.

[ihunnieibee]

Seems that the present trend is downwards here. this is in line with the world oil price lowering. But for how long?

Three years ago the 'special offer 5kg rice' in supermarkets was 99Bht.

This week it was down to 89Bht.

Three years ago I paid 17k for a Samsung 32" full HD Tv, today a higher spec version of the same Tv is 9k.

Although it seems to have stabalized for the while, BACON took a big jump a few months ago.

[Spoonman]

Gasoline.

Switch over to Diesel, I put in 1000b at a time and its always 1000b.

[Grawburg]

The waffle guy on the corner went from 10B to 12B a few months ago...but they other waffle guy around nearby stayed at 10B.

Mango sticky rice went up from 30B to 40B. I asked why..she said the flood makes it difficult to get mangos. I asked her if the price would go down when the floods went down....she ignored me. Price still 40B, but now she doesn't smile at me.

D'Oro Coffee has twice bumped their prices 5 - 10B each time over the last 2 years. Two years ago cappucino was 39B now I think it's 60B.

K. Kitty at Tulips' increased...um..well, forget it.

[Soi Sauce]

When I came to Thailand in 2004, the buttered sugar bread they sell at Gateau (spelling) bakery cost 12 baht, now it costs 19 baht.

Ice cream cone from Dairy Queen/Mcdonalds/etc... used to be 5 baht, now 10 baht.

Kind of sucks doesn't it?
